Full analysis
Bank of America cut KDP's price target to $35 from $38 but kept a Buy rating on April 10, 2026. Wells Fargo lowered its target to $37 from $40 while maintaining an Overweight rating, citing rising commodity costs affecting earnings through 2027 and expecting recovery in 2028. KDP plans to split the combined business with JDE Peet's into two US public companies by the end of 2026, with JDE Peet's delisting from Euronext Amsterdam on April 30, 2026.
Reduced targets and prolonged cost headwinds suggest pressure on margins and earnings growth, despite retained positive analyst sentiment, indicating a cautious outlook for KDP's near-term profitability.
